Sore Ewes

The eyes are always in sympathy with
the body, and afford an excellent index
of its condition. When the eyes become
weak, and the lids infamed and sore, 1t is
an evidence that the system has become
disordered by Scrofula, for which Ayers
Sarsaparilla is the best known remedy.
Scrofula, which produced a painful in
fiammation in my eyes, caused me much
suffering for number Of years. BY the
advice of physician commenced taking
Ayers Sarsaparilla. After using this
medicine 4 short time was completely
Cured
My eyes are now in splendid condition,
and ! am as well and strong as ever. =
Mrs. William Gage, Concord, N. II.
For number of years I was troubled
with humor in my eyes, and was unable
to obtain any relief until | commenced
using Ayers Sarsaparilla. This medicine
has effected Il complete cure, and believe
1t to be the best of blood purifiers. -
c. L. Upton, Nashua, n. II.
From childhood, and until within q few
months, have been afflicted with Weak
and Sore Eyes. | have used for these
complaints, with beneficial results, Ayers
Sarsaparilla, and consider it n great blood
purifier. - Mrs. c. Phillips, Glover, vt.
l suffered for year with infamma-
ton in my left eye. Three ulcers formed
on the ball, depriying me of sight, and
causing great pain. After trying many
other remedies, to no purpose, was finally
Induced to use Ayers Sarsaparilla, and,
BY Taking
three bottles of this medicine, have been
entirely cured. My sight has been re-
stored, and there is no sign of inflamma-
ton, sore, or ulcer in my eye. - Kendall
T. Bowen, Sugar Tree Ridge, Ohio.
My daughter, ten years old, was afflicted
with ScrofuOus Sore Eyes. During the
last two years she never saw light of any
kind. Physicians of the highest standing
cXertcd their skill, but with no permanent
success. On the recommendation of q
friend purchased bottle of Ayers Sar-
. saparia, which my daughter commenced
taking. Before she had used the third
bottle her sight was restored, and she can
now look steadily at a brilliant light with
out pain. Her cure is complete. W. L.

call, few of the most earnest workers
in the district met and although 10y far
the larger part OF those who were ex-
pected to be present, and whose inter-
ests were so much involved, did not
respond to the call made upon them,
yet the meeting WAS in every way an
interesting and important one.
On Friday the meeting was address,
ed by Superintendent, A. &. Goodwin,
of the Owensboro city schools. whose
corps of teachers were present and pre-
scented some valuable suggestions on
class work.
An able and instructive paper was
read by Prot. McHenry Rhoads, Of
Hartford, upon 1.-The True Solution Of

gestions set forth therein, should be

lowing, which was received aud adopt
ed:

cember In each year, and said revenues
are then paid into the State Treasury.
And

A GOOD MAN.

The Cincinnati correspondent of
the Greensboro Messenger has a good
word to say for our nominee. We
know the gentleman who wrote the
quotation below and can say that no
man stands higher in this county
than he. He is both a lawyer and IA
judge of learning and honesty. He
says;
Ham Risinger, nominated for senator, is
u good Democrat aud good man, as | per-
sonally know. He is a sober, upright citizen,
of good address and sound common sense,
and one whose election will do credit to the
district. Some people and perhaps not a
few, have imbibed the strange notion that a
miner is less sensible or worthy than the av-
erage laborer or mechanic.
"Of course in that, as in other pursuits, all
sorts of men may be found, hut ii is my eX-
perience that some of the cleverest, most
sensible and upright men know, are to be
found in the smutty precincts of "A coal mine
I say from my heart, 'iah for Risinger!"

False Charges

MCHENRY, KY, Dec. 10, 1851. see
in the Kentucky Progress charges made
against Hamilton RisiDger. First, is
that he took the place Of laboring
man. That is mistake, not IN the
printer, but in some malicious person,
who would misre present Mr. Ri-inger.
The case was like this. Mr.. Albert
Chinn was running the Taylor Mines
engine Tor Mr.. Risinger, while he ri.
singer was attending to other business.
Ii is all satisfactory between them.
Mr.. Risjnger taking his place and Mr..
Chinn coming here to work. So much
for falsehood No. l.
The second charge Is, that Mr. Ri
singer tried to boycott II or Is farmers

ion. Now To your readers, | would say,
though Mr.. Risinger and ! do differ in
politics, | know him to be- "A gentleman
IN every sense ot the term. Being my

ly intended to lnjure an honest laboring
man. Voters il you believe in mOnOp-
olies ruling our State, vote with them

Mr. Risinger.
would say to all, you need not fear
the honor Of Mr.. RisiAger, for here,
where he is hest known, he will run
ahead of his ticket further than any
other Democrat in this county would
be able TO do. Being a Republican my
self, ! Know whereof ! speak. We do
not vote for him ~ Dam rat, but

al Mr.. Risinger proves "A consistent Dem
ocrat should he be elected, will not the
Knights OF Labor be cheated? should he
prove a consistent Knight of Labor will not
the Democrats be cheated? Which one will
catch it ?"-Green River Republican.
Mr.. Risinger being a member Of
the Knights Of Labor secret society
can no more effect his Democracy
than being a member of the Masonic
fraternity, Odd Fellows society, or a
religious denomination. Perhaps
our friend has forgotten that the
Democratic party contains those
principles for which the laborer con-
tends. A consistent Knight Of Labor
looks to the Democratic party as his
best friend.
